Top 2008 Sun Microsystems Student Projects |
| |
Students participating in the Ibero-American Student Contest were also eligible for the Sun Microsystems track. To compete in this track students had to present a project in either Control and Robotics or Development of Software and Hardware. The second stipulation was that students use an open source program developed by Sun Microsystems such as Netbeans, Java, or Solaris. The top projects in this track received a Sun Ultra Workstation.
The goal for this track was to inspire development in robotic and software technologies to solve problems in local industries or communities that would generate social and economic benefits. |
